Question

Tickets for a community theater cost $14 for each main floor seat and $6 for each balcony seat. There are 500 seats on the main floor, and these seats were sold out for the evening performance. The total revenue from ticket sales was $7900. How many balcony seats were sold?

Answer 1

Answer: 150 balcony tickets were sold

Explanation:

$14 is for one main floor ticket and 500 were sold so you do 14x500 which is 7000 so we know that $900 is left so we do 900 divided by 6 cause it's $6 for a balcony seat and we would get 150 to check it we could do 150x6=900

Hope it helps you!
